Juno News online national survey asks Canadians to weigh in on pipelines

Canada’s long-running pipeline battle is heating up once again, and Juno News is asking Canadians a blunt question: Should the national interest come before provincial obstruction?

Canada’s long-running pipeline battle is heating up once again, and Juno News is asking Canadians a blunt question: Should the national interest come before provincial obstruction?

Alberta and much of the Prairies argue that expanding pipeline infrastructure is essential to protecting Canadian jobs, growing the economy, and restoring the country’s credibility as a reliable energy producer.

To capture public opinion, Juno News has launched an online national survey asking whether a pipeline should move forward regardless of B.C.’s objections, or whether the province should have the power to block it.

Canadians from coast to coast are invited to participate and make their voices heard on an issue that could shape the country’s economic future for decades.

With global demand for oil and gas remaining strong, supporters say Canada is leaving billions of dollars on the table by failing to get its resources to market.

Yet British Columbia’s socialist NDP government continues to oppose new pipeline projects, citing environmental concerns and pressure from activist groups.

Critics of B.C.’s stance argue that allowing one province to effectively veto nation-building infrastructure threatens Canada’s economic future and deepens regional divisions.

Pro-pipeline advocates maintain that energy projects of national significance should not be derailed by ideological opposition or political posturing. They point out that Canada already has some of the highest environmental standards in the world and that pipelines remain the safest and most efficient way to transport energy.
